- +Related to: azure-application-gateway, azure-front-door
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Imperva WAF
Developers should learn or use Imperva WAF when building or maintaining web applications that handle sensitive data, such as e-commerce sites or financial platforms, to enhance security compliance and mitigate common vulnerabilities
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in environments requiring robust protection against OWASP Top 10 threats, as it reduces the risk of data breaches and ensures application availability during attacks
- +Related to: web-security, owasp-top-10
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Azure Web Application Firewall if: You want it is essential for mitigating risks in public-facing applications, reducing the attack surface, and automating security management without requiring deep expertise in network security and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Imperva WAF if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in environments requiring robust protection against owasp top 10 threats, as it reduces the risk of data breaches and ensures application availability during attacks over what Azure Web Application Firewall offers.
